An ambitious place making program in central Dandenong is underway to support the city’s revitalisation!

The program is delivering a diverse range of highly visible public realm improvements within the city centre in support of the $290 million State Government Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative.

Many of the projects involve bringing colour, life and animation to a city which is already well known for its specialty shopping, cultural vibrancy and authenticity.  The program is primarily focused at pedestrians in streets and public spaces that are encountered between the station and the market.

The projects are an initiative of the City of Greater Dandenong with past and current partners including; Dandenong Development Board, Vic Urban, Department of Transport, Metro Trains and Arts Victoria.
